Since my RHS headlight was broken, so I obv had to replace it, asked this guy in Bilal Gunj and Chah Sultan for a Kabli headlight, fnf price was 10k for a single headlight, bought a DEPO headlight (made in Taiwan) for 6k
SWEEEEEEET!
your painter forgot that the fascia panel of this car is supposed to be matte black?
I told him they'll be finished in matte black so he'll paint them matte black in a day or two insha'Allah.I'm confused whether to go for matte black or gloss black as I'll be tinting the windows black as well.
Before
After, will be tinting the glass cover myself, in black for the smokey touch.
Here's a side by side of both the headlamps, the right one's brand new (DEPO) and I got the the left headlight buffed and polished by the guy who serviced the tail lamps, the dude's done a great job, undoubtedly

and why is your engine bay white?
I got it painted in white myself.
Here’s a reference picture of what I’m doing
this reminds of cheap JDM paint jobs, nearly all white shade JDM cars have white primer shot in engine bay for cheaper and quicker assembly line run.
are you going to make the tucked wiring yourself? - mil spec?
@Xulfiqar Everyone's got their own point of view and thoughts regarding paint jobs so I'm glad to know that you think that they're cheap because I myself HATE white engine bays, I had 3-4 colors in my mind for the engine bay which included milano red & dull gold, but I chose white in the end because I have some plans for the future (in case I'll keep the car) and white goes with it.I'm not going for tuck wiring because it's not at all practical (that's what I think)Just the clean engine bay with a clean motor would do the job for me.
well done going for brand new body parts rather then stupid expensive kabli parts
u going for metallic British green color ?
@hash4uThanks a lot bro, btw the color isn't british green, I've edited the pictures a bit to keep the excitement going for the color I chose .
Awesome restoration;
If your undecided for wheels, let me know and i can hook you up with period 80's 15 SSR EXC Fins : Need slight resto though as the previous owner decided to spray paint them : Pic as below:
Let me know about the details @mhaider01 Love these wheels!
I’ll restore them, not a biggie.
